We encourage you to read their privacy policies carefully, as their individual privacy policies may differ from ours. Links that appear on our website are not necessarily endorsed by Turbo Mortgage.
What does framing mean?
"Framing" describes the way web pages are presented. When Turbo Mortgage presents a "framed" page, you'll be seeing Turbo-Mortgage.com branding displays (scrolls, banners, etc.) alongside branding displays from non-affiliated third parties Turbo Mortgage has partnered with. Turbo Mortgage uses framing in order to offer you additional products and services. You should read the privacy policy of any framed page carefully, as that site's policy may differ from ours.
How will Turbo Mortgage protect my information while it's passing over the Internet?
Turbo Mortgage protects your information with a process known as SSL. This means that whenever you enter a quote request, your personal information will be encrypted as it's traveling between your computer and our servers. To make use of this technology, you'll need to use an SSL-capable browser (meaning, Netscape Navigator 4.06, Internet Explorer 4.01 or above). You can tell you're visiting a secure area on our site by checking for the lock or key symbol at the bottom corner of your browser screen.
Does Turbo Mortgage use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are simply small files that are saved on your computer while your browser's running. Turbo Mortgage uses cookies to make it easier for you to complete our quote forms. Our cookies are intended to make your experience on our site easier.
Turbo Mortgage's cookies are not used to collect, store or track your personal information. If you're uncomfortable accepting cookies of any kind, you can change your browser's settings to keep them off your computer.
Turbo Mortgage may contract with partners who use what's known as "ad-serving" technology. Ad-serving gauges the effectiveness of an advertisement by placing a cookie on your computer when you view it. These third-party cookies allow ad-serve users to recognize certain types of non-personal information, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, Internet provider, time zone, etc.
Collecting this information allows our partners to improve the value and effectiveness of their advertisements on Turbo-Mortgage.com by delivering the kinds of ads that will be of the most interest to you.
The information collected by cookies can not identify you personally. However, the third parties who use them may be able to associate your personal information with a cookie if you register for products or services on their website. We recommend that you read the privacy statements on outside sites carefully as their privacy policy may be different from ours.

Web beacons are single-pixel GIFs (they collect non-personal information, such as your cookie number, the day and date you view a page, and or the description of the page where the beacon was placed.)
Turbo Mortgage's partners sometimes use web beacons as a way to compile statistics so they can improve the overall effectiveness of their advertising. The non-personal info that web beacons collect can not be used to identify you individually on Turbo-Mortgage.com.
